[JDEV] Jabberd in Startup on Linux

[Michel Oosterbeek]

Hi All,

I'm using Jabber 1.4.1 with Red Hat 7.2 and I have been trying to get
Jabberd to fire up on startup, but so far my attempts were unsuccessful.
Recently I read some messages of other people here, who were having the same
problem. Some scripts were offered, and I decided to give them a try, but
something strange is happening. So if the writer of these scrips is reading
this, please give me some advice?

>>>  http://www.bluecows.com/scripts/jabberd.start
Edited the pathnames in this script and placed it in my jabber root, mode
0755

>>>  http://www.bluecows.com/scripts/jabberd
Edited the pathnames, placed it in /etc/rc.d/init.d, mode 0755

Then I used chkconfig to set it to runlevel 3, checked it again with the
command "chkconfig --help", and it was there. So this should work.

Now, on startup, I see the script is called: "Starting jabberd... [OK]", but
when I check it, there's nothing running at all. Though when I try to run
the script myself it works fine. So why won't it do that on startup?

Thanks,

Michel
